Today Started Last Night #47
Your choices at night shape your success tomorrow.
Here’s a powerful reminder: Today started last night.
The choices you make in the evening directly impact the energy, focus, and clarity you bring into the next morning.
If you stay up late scrolling, binge-watching, or snacking on junk, you’re borrowing energy from tomorrow. But if you wind down intentionally, prioritize recovery, and set up your morning, you’re investing in your success.
This is the moment to decide:
- Will you prioritize being entertained or becoming your best self?
- Will you activate your Soul Force by hitting your #1 Heroically SMART Goal or give in to distractions?
The Connection Between Night and Morning
1. Energy: Late-night screen time disrupts your sleep cycles, reducing the quality of your rest and leaving you groggy and drained in the morning.
2. Focus: An intentional wind-down routine sharpens your clarity, so you wake up ready to crush your day.
3. Momentum: When you set up your morning the night before, you eliminate excuses and create unstoppable momentum.
Every evening, you’re faced with a choice: entertainment or excellence. Choose wisely.

Action for Tonight

1. Wind Down Intentionally: Turn off screens at least an hour before bed, dim the lights, and reflect on the day’s wins.
2. Plan Tomorrow’s WIN: Write down your #1 priority for the morning.
3. Set Your Sleep Schedule: Prioritize 8.5 hours in bed for optimal recovery.
Remember: Today started last night. Invest in your success tonight.
